    I agree with Corailline..i think the first one is a head of trumpet coral aka candy cane.

    I was thinking trumpet on the first but i have never seen a brown one with a rough tissue. But taking a second look i guess I could be Caulastrea echinulata. Hard to positively say with out being able to see the skeleton.
